Nobody wants gold because they want gold. They want gold because it has value, and that value is purely based on what someone else will give you for the gold. There's no intrinsic usefulness to gold that makes it worth $1000 per ounc

Honestly, the speculation around bitcoin is the least interesting part about it. The fact that you can do secure person to person transactions with no intermediary is awesome. The fact that it is a "push" system and not a "p

Really? Like what? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold#Applications Gold seems not to be the best choice of materials for very many things. It's valued because it's pretty and rare. That's basically it.

Missed this - For me it was a little less than a month from inquiry about the job to an offer. That didn't seem unusual for them.

I'm a bit late to the party, but I'll nominate the company I work for - Canonical (although the part about no media coverage has been somewhat untrue the last few days ;). Let me tell you why. 1.) 100% work from home (minus ~2 one

That's not the point. He's saying the site is critical of Canonical and Ubuntu, and he's fine with that. "Sucks site" was just a shorthand.

The idea is to join your offline and online worlds. Maybe you don't remember if you had that file on your desktop or google drive or dropbox or ubuntu one. The unfortunate part is that online searches were launched with just Amazon,

I'm just trying to point out that the people who say Canonical is trying to silence the guy are just talking out their ass. They are freely providing this information in the number one place people go to ask questions about Ubuntu. A

Sensationalist BS. Canonical isn't trying to silence anyone. They have _the same information_ on AskUbuntu.com, a site directly supported by paid Canonical employees. http://askubuntu.com/questions/192269/how

If people did 30 seconds of searching they'd realize this information is available on the official Stack Exchange site AskUbuntu.com which is directly supported by Canonical's paid staff: http://askubuntu.com/quest

Yay for LastPass - my password at adobe is a long string of gobbedlygook that is unique to the site. I changed it just in case... which makes me think... Why the hell hasn't Adobe reset everyone's password yet? That would be the

They look mostly the same to me on a 30" screen (chrome on linux). Slightly different kerning is all I can really tell. Certainly no significant difference.

This is just the worst of both worlds. Some people are getting up when it's pitch black out for 3 hours part of the year. Some people are getting home 3 hours after sunset part of the year. Two time zones is not fixing anything, it&

I have yet to see a link (credible or not) to statistics of how many people's insurances are getting cancelled and/or going up due to the ACA. I see a lot of people claiming this is happening without any substantiation. As a tot

That's a good point, but I think it can still give a misguided view of what you would pay, depending on how many factors go into the discounts. They would have to ask you questions for every possible factor that could influence your he

That's the problem with the government and software... the release date and features are mandated by law. The only thing that can give way is quality.

There have been a very small handful of people who have claimed (without much supporting evidence) that they would pay more. There has been pretty much zero evidence given that people who have insurance through their employer will see any

If your paid app can't compete against a free app... that's hardly the fault of the user or the app store. It's the fault of the app maker. What you're basically saying is "my app is so easy to make, that someone
